Procedure
Torion T-9 GC/MS software navigation is driven by a function called a Standard Operating
Procedure (SOP) . A Procedure consists of a series of pre-programmed steps (like a macro language)
that are automatically executed to guide you in the operation of the Torion T-9 GC/MS system.
Contact PerkinElmer for more details on how to create Procedures.
There are two types of Procedures that can be created for the Torion T-9 GC/MS software:
Locked
A locked Procedure forces you to perform operations (such as running a System
Blank or Performance Validation) in the exact order programmed into the Procedure.
Unlocked
Unlocked Procedures can still be set up to guide you through a series of suggested
operations, but they also allow you to deviate from the pre-programmed operations.

prefix for the automatically generated Sample name on the Home page is the name of the
Procedure.
